Java Posse #120 - JavaOne BoF Special

JavaOne BoF Special A special from our BoF at JavaOne. Rough coverage of the news from JavaOne (or at least the big items), plus some industry news important enough to make it in. Mainly just having a good time and enjoying the fact that people can talk back for once. If you can make it, please join us for the post JavaOne analysis on Tuesday May 15th at Verisign. You must register to join in the fun (otherwise Verisign won't let you in), but there will be beer, pizza and prizes including one SunSpot pack (3 sunspots) which is an awesome door prize (and about $600ish value as well). To find out more and register, please take a look at https://sv-web-jug.dev.java.net/servlets/ NewsItemView?newsItemID=4881 Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com JavaOne News The technical sessions and labs will be up on the web in a month or so, but in the meantime you can see the keynotes online http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf/ JavaFX - declarative scripting desktop and applet tool to compete with Flash has been announced by Sun http://www.sun.com/software/javafx/ http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/05/07/ javafx-javaone_1.html http://www.sun.com/software/javafx/script/ http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/05/javafx-script JavaFX Mobile - new phone platform for next gen devices also announced by Sun http://www.sun.com/software/javafx/mobile/index.jsp http://news.com.com/2300-1041_3-6182386-1.html Real Time Java (JSR 1) version 2.0 (now with real time garbage collection) http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/realtime/index.jsp Java App of the week - World Wind in Java (from NASA) http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf/ sessions/general/index.jsp#TS Java Web App of the week - Iris - online photo browsing and editing https://iris.dev.java.net/ Engineers without borders formation - could not yet find a direct link, but there is a news article about it.
